Happy Motherlover Day! Like I said on twitter last night, I’m going to try not doing comics into the wee hours any more – if it’s not done, it can wait a day. That’s why this is going up now, and not Wednesday; I wanted to actually enjoy doing the page and doing it right, not only hurt myself staying up late.
But! Here is the page, and I like it very much! It’s hard to believe that I feel so comfortable with drawing backgrounds now, after all my bellyaching in the first couple’a chapters. It’s fun! I like it!
I hope you like it too, and thanks for sticking with me over the hiatus! We’re back at it again in chapter nine!

TRANSCRIPT
A page with no dialogue. Imogen stands at her kitchen sink washing dishes, then cleans the fridge, then mops the floor. An inset panel: a bullet journal decorated with washi tape, with Imogen’s to-do list. ‘figure out banking stuff???’ is in red with a star.
The to-do list reads:
kitchen: do the dishes, clean out the fridge, wash floors
laundry: do the kids laundry + towels, strip and wash bed linens, sort through old clothes for donation
figure out banking stuff???
meal planning!!!
call the school about L’s learning plan
make haircut appointments
call mom
This drawing of Imogen really shows off your skills! I love the soft, curved lines you use and the bright colours – they feel so expressive and recognisable. Also, I love that Imogen has a bullet journal – we think alike. 😀
I agree, love the artwork, the perspective and the flow! .. that being said..
Is this an average day for Imogen? It doesn’t list her cooking dinner, and breakfast of course, getting the kids to and from school, cleaning up *after* dinner… How on earth is she hoping to do *anything* for herself, even a hobby, or even think or dwell on anything beyond tunnel-vision to the next eight chores?
And what, precisely, does Jonathan actually contribute besides an iffy income and some snide remarks?
No Name brand? Is this set in Canada?
Pretty sure it is, because on the very first page of the comic, there’s a Canadian flag flying over the school.
